The ITTATC project at Georgia Tech's Center for Assistive Technology and 
Environmental Access (CATEA) is conducting a survey to measure satisfaction 
with the voting experience, as well as the usability and accessibility of 
voting machines for all voters, including those with disabilities.  The 
survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and it covers:

*  the accessibility of information on the issues and the candidates to 
help voters make informed decisions prior to voting;
*  barriers encountered when voting;
*  voters' ability to understand or obtain information on how to operate 
voting machines;
*  and satisfaction with the voting process

Personal information that would identify participants will not be 
collected. The data from this survey will assist government agencies, 
election officials, and the electronic and information technology industry 
in designing voting machines and other technologies that are more usable 
and accessible for all.

This survey covers elections beginning in January 2004. If you voted in any 
national, state, or local elections since January, you may complete a 
survey for each voting experience.
